Things Volunteers Can Do

Work on the Website:
- mechanical effort:
  - verify that links are still valid
  - proofread: even spell checkers are not foolproof, especially for a missing word.
- research: find more valuable info to post or link to
Work on the Social:
- help find and coordinate hosts for social
- serve on telephone team, notifying folks of the next Social
- coordinate telephone team
- help spread the word about the Social to folks who might like to come
Work on Lectures:
- help pick topics
- find speakers
- publicize
Work on Finances:
- help contact funding sources to invite financial assistance:
  - foundations
  - local businesses
  - major corporations
  - local governments
  - (even possible mailings)
  - find and work with corporations with matching gift programs
- help find free publicity
  - public service announcements
  - event listings
  - donated advertizing space
- You could even help financially yourself, if you have the means: donations are tax-deductible.
Work on Ideas: Ideas are always welcome. Without fresh ideas, nothing better ever happens. Help develop ideas: good ideas often die for lack of anyone to follow through, research and implement them.
